Default Carpet Setup Question

When running on High grip carpet, it looks like the front end is digging in and throwing the rear end round when off power?

I have made the front end harder but it still keeps on

So far setup is

Out side hole on shock towers
Blue Springs
50wt oil
No 2 piston


Should i go harder on the oil?

Any help would be greatful

Cheers

Remove the washers from the inside front camber link this stops the car rolling around.

Mr Lowe told me to do this and what a difference it made!!

Can you post the rest of your setup cheater?

The car goes best on high grip with lots of roll stiffness at the rear (ie, lots of washers under the rear inner camber link and the inner hole on the hub).

You shouldn't ever have to go stiffer than 40wt Associated oil in the front with No2's in. I'd advise against running the shocks on the outside holes in the towers. I almost always run them on the inner hole unless it's pretty grippy and I might move the front to the middle.

Do you have the rest of the setup?

Apart from the rear camber link length thats pretty much how I run the car indoors. Whats your shock setup, what antisquat are you running and how many washers do you have under the camber links?

On the WE I've found the front setup has very little to do with controling bodyroll, stiffening the rear seems to keep the whole car flatter. A good example of this is the setup I ran at the Teeside regional, very grippy carpet in places and I had silver springs on the front yet very little roll due to the rear camber link settings.

A quick thing you can try to see if you need more roll stiffness on the rear is to try the rollbar, remember though this will make the car a bit worse through small fast bumps.

I'll post my Teeside setup in the setups thread soon
